"Towards the end of any culture, you have the second or third generation that steps into the culture, which is so far from the origination, it's the impression of what's real, but it's not the full definition of what's real. It's just cheesy." - Lyle Owerko

Ahhh, old Linkin Park was the soundtrack to my pre-teen/teenhood. (man I was an angry, antisocial teen )
The first album I bought was Hybrid Theory. God, I loved that CD.

But my favourite? My soul changes too often to have one favourite!

Right now it would be "1950" by Amedeo Minghe. Me and my partner listen to it almost everyday, generally while we make dinner, but sometimes just in the morning, or before bed. (we don't speak Italian, but the music is fantastic and his voice is hypnotic)

In the past it's been as varied as "CexCells" by Blaqk Audio, to "My Winter Storm" by Tarja Turunen, to "Dysfunction" by Staind, to the soundtrack from "The Queen of the Damned"

So hard to choose just one. I think I have to say Destroyer by KISS. I was gonna list something else, but seeing the user name Staarchild just triggered thoughts of KISS since Paul Stanley's character within KISS is The Starchild. Several of their top songs are on that album, and it's one I've always loved so I'll go with that.
